On her first for LP Whited Sepulchre, Claire Rousay offers the smart phone as crystal ball. A tool whose unknowable properties allow us to reach across time and space, eavesdrop and peer deep into the intentions of our friends and enemies. Except that this crystal ball gazes back at you.
claire’s two compositions offer an almost painfully accurate mise en scene where sustained tones, plunderphonic samples and field recorded snippets of conversations are met with deeply solipsistic scenes where we are hurtled into the body of an uncreated body as they scroll, type, delete while the flutter of anxiety caused memories and inner-dialogue keep them up in much more meaningful ways that the circadian rhythm destroying blue light from their crystal ball.
